North Dakota representative uced his measure after con-Sen. William E. Borah, R.,
, who recently charged FERA "waste and extravagance.”
Borah was asked by the United Press if he also planned to ask an investigation.
“Not until the programs with reference ,to relief and public buildings are brought before the Senate,” he replied. ‘We don’t need two investigations. My attitude is to wait until I see what measures are introduced with reference to this sub-i ject.”
The FERA measure vied for attention with a proposed constitu-i tional amendment introduced by Rep. Louis Ludlow, D., Ind.. necessitating a plebiscite before the nation could declare war, and a resolution by Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex., asking investigation of charges that the administration is seeking to curb freedom of the press.

SAARBRUCKEN, The Saar. Tuesday, Jan. 15.—(HE)—Powerful ties of blood and Teutonic tradition told in Sunday’s plebiscite in the Saar, sending an overwhelming majority j to vote for return to the fatherland.
The unofficial figure said that out of 515.000 votes cast, 443.000 viare in favor of returning the Saar ter-; ritory to Germany. Between 4,000 and 5,000 votes were for France to receive the territory. It was assumed that the remainder were for the ! status quo, government by the League of Nations.
Hitler, Kuis Victorious
The ballot resulted in a sweeping victory for Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party in the Reich, the United Press was informed officially early today.
Neutral counters continued their recheck on the initial tally—but it was only to determine how great ' the Hitlerite victory would be.
! Semi-official sources estimated the Nazi majority would run between 85 and 88 per cent of ^he 1 540,000 votes cast, ending 15 years of separation while the Saar was under control of the League of Nations.
Anti-Nazis Losing Battle
Max Braun, leader of the anti-Nazi opposition, at 2 a. m. (8 p. m. EST) admitted the returns looked “bad for us.” but added: “We have Just been informed the cities and i villages being counted after midnight are better.” But he fought ; a losing battle in a lost cause.
The Saarlanders, loyally German, voted to return to the Reich, re-gardless of who rules there. It is j now up to the League council to put their mandate into effect by a | decree returning the Saar to Germany.
One res'll was the start of a mass migration of thousand! of men. women and children across the French frontier, fearing reprisals against them for opposing the Nazi landslide.
The official result was announced in a world-wi \ broadcast under the auspices of the League of Nations at 8 a. m. (2 a. m. EST).
Howard Patrick and Homer Bell, S. C. forensic artists, will debate with U.C.L.A. tonight on the Townsend plan. The Trojans will uphold the affirmative. Marty Agens and James Kirkwood won a decision over the Westwood debaters last week arguing the negative side of the same question.

Lieberman To Speak Before Jewish Club
J. J. Lieberman, prominent Los
Angeles attorney, will speak before the Jewish students of S. C. at a meeting in the Social hall of the Student Union Thursday at 3 p. m. He will discuss informally the religious program now under way on campus.
Nominations for executive officers, followed by elections, will be in order after the talk. A commit- i tee composed of Hyman Tyre. Eleanor Neft, Barney Katz, Arthur Groman. and Bud Simon, will present a plan of the exact form of organisation. This committee was chosen at the first gathering of the Jewish students immediately preceding the Christmas vacation.
Cooperating with the Religious conference program, the group intends to form a semi-social dub.
By J. Claude Mauderbaugh
All was quiet and serene in the Wampus office yesterday morning, as I opened the door and stepped in to query Editor Bill Roberts on the merits of his ‘new magazine. Roberts, too, was quiet and serene; unusually so for one of his hectic temperament.
“I’ve done it!” he said, springing to his feet and advancing toward me with outstretched hand. “They’ve gone at last . . . every last one of them!”
“Yes?” I replied, looking at him pityingly.
“Gone!” he repeated. "I thought I’d never get rid of them . . . they were crawling all over the place. — —, it was awful!”
I placed my hand on his shoulder comfortingly. The man was mad! It was with sincere regret in my voice, and yet with the object of bringing him back to sanity, that I put my next question.
“But your Wampus—your Wampus, Mr. Roberts. Is it true that the Burlesque Number will be truly the greatest yet issued under your capable editorship?"
“—all over the place.” he continued. "Five of them. They all looked alike, and they were all crawling around!"
•'Now, now, Mr. Roberts. Try to forget. Try to think of your Wam-
pus, instead. It is true, is it not, that Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, Time, Wild West Weekly, the Daily Trojan, the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Examiner, Popular Science, True Confessions, and several other publications have been unmercifully parodied in your Burlesque Number?"
Roberts’ eyes were gradually clearing.
“It was terrible,” he murmured. “They all came in on roller-skates. I thought they’d never leave!”
There was an insistent note in his voice that prompted my curiosity.
“What have you been talking about? Who was crawling around?
I Are you sure you Ye feeling well?” “You’ll never guess,” replied Editor Roberts. “You’ll think I’m crazy!” and he buried his face ln his hands, sobbing.
I determined to humor him.
“No, tell me. Ill believe you, and then you can tell me all about your new Wampus, and how lovely it’s going to be. Now. then!”
He raised his eyes slowly.
“The Dionne quintuplets came in to see me,” he said, speaking slowly, as if he couldn’t believe it himself. "All live."
“Yes, yes." I said, though my voice was choked with emotion. He had (Continued on Page Pour)

Knopf To Conduct Religious Lectures
Dr. Carl S. Knopf, professor in the School of Religion, will conduct a series of lectures beginning tonight at Pomona college on the general subject, “The Bible Speaks.”
Problems and quests of the modern world will be discussed in the lectures, also the possible contributions of biblical writers to an understanding and solution of the present day problems,
“Many do not realize that, aside from any religious values that the bible may have, it is a literature that touches many phases of life,” said Dr. Knopf in speaking of the theme of the lectures. “It advances certain ideas that are being given close consideration today by legislators who do not realize that the bible advocated some of these reforms 2600 years ago.
“Even if one never uses the book for religious purposes, it is only fair to give credit to thinkers and a literature that got there first.” concluded the professor of religion.
Based on Dr. Knopf’s recently published book, “The Old Testament Speaks.” which is used widely in American universities as a text-book of biblical literature, the lectures will continue Thursday and Friday nights. Bridge hall of Pomona college will be the scene of the lectures.

Sentencing of Rush Griffin. 19. and Willie Smith, 21, negroes, for the murder of Lawrence L. Lyons, former University of Southem California medical student, was delayed until January 21 when the pair asked for a new trial on technical grounds.
The later date was set by Charles W. Fricke, judge of the superior j court, as the one on which he will , hear the motion.
If the motion fails, Griffin will be sentenced to be hanged and Smith to life imprisonment. The two negroes pleaded guilty to shooting Lyons to death early the morning of November 12 following an attempted rebfcery and kic'#:aping.
Lyons was accosted by the pair and compelled i*> ride to Ninth and Central avenues. In an attempt to escape, he was shot by Griffin. The shooting occurred outside a “Black and Tan” resort.

S.C.WiU Argue
Affirmative in Dual Contest
Troy Needs One Decision To Win Businessmen's Award For Year
Culminating the traditional dual series of debates between S. C. and U. C. L. A., Homer Bell and Howard Patrick, of the Trojan squad, will defend the Townsend plan of old age pensions in opposition to Thomas Lambert and Charles Wellman, Jr., of the Bruin team, tonight in Bovard auditorium. Dean Reid L. McClung will be chairman of the evening.
These debates, which were abandoned last year, have been resumed this year and S. C. leads with three decisions which Martyn Agens and James Kirkwood took in the meeting at Westwood last week. In order to win possession of the Westwood businessmen’s trophy for the coming year the Trojan speakers must receive the vote of one of the three judges. Otherwise a deciding contest may have to be held.
Clinton Jones, team manager at S. C. who has had charge of the arrangements for tonight announced yesterday that two of the judges will be Crawford F. Brubaker, debate coach at Pomona high school and junior college, and Mark F. Horton, former debate instructor at Lincoln high school, here, in the city. The third official had not been named at that time.
Both Bell and Patrick at their respective schools debated during junior college days and have participated for S. C. during the last two years. Both according to records have distinguished themselves by winning numerous contests and championships. New strategy, which they have not as yet divulged, will be used to build up a strong case for the pension plan. The plan, while very popular, does not lend itself easily to the building of the un-shakeable arguments which characterize the negative side.
Besides a large representation from the university several hundreds oi Townsend plan supporters are expected to be on hand tonight. Publicity has appeared in the paper, which the movement publishes and reports from Townsend clubs alii over this district show that great: interest has been aroused.
Dillinger Attorney Acquitted by Jury
CHICAGO. Jan. 14.—0J.R)—Louis P. Piquett, former bartender and city prosecutor, who became attorney and confidante for John Dillinger. was acquitted on charges of conspiracy to harbor the outlaw by a jury in federal court tonight.
The verdict was returned at 10:12 p.m. (C.ST.) after the jury had deliberated two hours and a half.
The stocky, bushy-haired lawyer, who stood trial in Judge Wiliam H. Hoy’s federal court, was the first to be snared in the government’s drive against “gangland lawyers” and a complete rout of the Dillinger gang.
The verdict left leaders of the federal government’s prosecution admittedly downcast, whiie Picquetft was loudly jubilant.
Openly charged with being tha “master mind” behind the Hoosier ontlaw’s five months of terror, witnesses testified that he arranged for plastic surgery operations on the faces of Dillinger and Homer Van Meter.
Council Will Discuss Discipline of Pledges
Pledge discipline and rushing will be discussed at a meeting of the Interfraternity council tonight in 418 Student Union at 7 p.m. Plans will also be laid for the coming semester, according to Ed Jones, president,
“It will be a very important meeting and all fraterni^r presidents and members must attend.” Jones said.
Bowen Debating Contest Will Commence Tomorrow
More than twenty-five students have entered the Bowen cup contest in extemporaneous speaking, Harold Weeks, contest manager, reported today. The preliminary round opens tomorrow at 3 p. m. in Porter hall.
The twelve outstandine individuals will be determined by judges’ rankings, and these will compete for the six silver cups given in the finals, 8 p. m., Thursday night.

SAARBRUCKEN, The Saar. Tuesday, Jan. 15.—(HE)—Powerful ties of blood and Teutonic tradition told in Sunday’s plebiscite in the Saar, sending an overwhelming majority j to vote for return to the fatherland.
The unofficial figure said that out of 515.000 votes cast, 443.000 viare in favor of returning the Saar ter-; ritory to Germany. Between 4,000 and 5,000 votes were for France to receive the territory. It was assumed that the remainder were for the ! status quo, government by the League of Nations.
Hitler, Kuis Victorious
The ballot resulted in a sweeping victory for Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party in the Reich, the United Press was informed officially early today.
Neutral counters continued their recheck on the initial tally—but it was only to determine how great ' the Hitlerite victory would be.
! Semi-official sources estimated the Nazi majority would run between 85 and 88 per cent of ^he 1 540,000 votes cast, ending 15 years of separation while the Saar was under control of the League of Nations.
Anti-Nazis Losing Battle
Max Braun, leader of the anti-Nazi opposition, at 2 a. m. (8 p. m. EST) admitted the returns looked “bad for us.” but added: “We have Just been informed the cities and i villages being counted after midnight are better.” But he fought ; a losing battle in a lost cause.
The Saarlanders, loyally German, voted to return to the Reich, re-gardless of who rules there. It is j now up to the League council to put their mandate into effect by a | decree returning the Saar to Germany.
One res'll was the start of a mass migration of thousand! of men. women and children across the French frontier, fearing reprisals against them for opposing the Nazi landslide.
The official result was announced in a world-wi \ broadcast under the auspices of the League of Nations at 8 a. m. (2 a. m. EST).
Howard Patrick and Homer Bell, S. C. forensic artists, will debate with U.C.L.A. tonight on the Townsend plan. The Trojans will uphold the affirmative. Marty Agens and James Kirkwood won a decision over the Westwood debaters last week arguing the negative side of the same question.

By J. Claude Mauderbaugh
All was quiet and serene in the Wampus office yesterday morning, as I opened the door and stepped in to query Editor Bill Roberts on the merits of his ‘new magazine. Roberts, too, was quiet and serene; unusually so for one of his hectic temperament.
“I’ve done it!” he said, springing to his feet and advancing toward me with outstretched hand. “They’ve gone at last . . . every last one of them!”
“Yes?” I replied, looking at him pityingly.
“Gone!” he repeated. "I thought I’d never get rid of them . . . they were crawling all over the place. — —, it was awful!”
I placed my hand on his shoulder comfortingly. The man was mad! It was with sincere regret in my voice, and yet with the object of bringing him back to sanity, that I put my next question.
“But your Wampus—your Wampus, Mr. Roberts. Is it true that the Burlesque Number will be truly the greatest yet issued under your capable editorship?"
“—all over the place.” he continued. "Five of them. They all looked alike, and they were all crawling around!"
•'Now, now, Mr. Roberts. Try to forget. Try to think of your Wam-
pus, instead. It is true, is it not, that Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, Time, Wild West Weekly, the Daily Trojan, the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Examiner, Popular Science, True Confessions, and several other publications have been unmercifully parodied in your Burlesque Number?"
Roberts’ eyes were gradually clearing.
“It was terrible,” he murmured. “They all came in on roller-skates. I thought they’d never leave!”
There was an insistent note in his voice that prompted my curiosity.
“What have you been talking about? Who was crawling around?
I Are you sure you Ye feeling well?” “You’ll never guess,” replied Editor Roberts. “You’ll think I’m crazy!” and he buried his face ln his hands, sobbing.
I determined to humor him.
“No, tell me. Ill believe you, and then you can tell me all about your new Wampus, and how lovely it’s going to be. Now. then!”
He raised his eyes slowly.
“The Dionne quintuplets came in to see me,” he said, speaking slowly, as if he couldn’t believe it himself. "All live."
“Yes, yes." I said, though my voice was choked with emotion. He had (Continued on Page Pour)

Knopf To Conduct Religious Lectures
Dr. Carl S. Knopf, professor in the School of Religion, will conduct a series of lectures beginning tonight at Pomona college on the general subject, “The Bible Speaks.”
Problems and quests of the modern world will be discussed in the lectures, also the possible contributions of biblical writers to an understanding and solution of the present day problems,
“Many do not realize that, aside from any religious values that the bible may have, it is a literature that touches many phases of life,” said Dr. Knopf in speaking of the theme of the lectures. “It advances certain ideas that are being given close consideration today by legislators who do not realize that the bible advocated some of these reforms 2600 years ago.
“Even if one never uses the book for religious purposes, it is only fair to give credit to thinkers and a literature that got there first.” concluded the professor of religion.
Based on Dr. Knopf’s recently published book, “The Old Testament Speaks.” which is used widely in American universities as a text-book of biblical literature, the lectures will continue Thursday and Friday nights. Bridge hall of Pomona college will be the scene of the lectures.

S.C.WiU Argue
Affirmative in Dual Contest
Troy Needs One Decision To Win Businessmen's Award For Year
Culminating the traditional dual series of debates between S. C. and U. C. L. A., Homer Bell and Howard Patrick, of the Trojan squad, will defend the Townsend plan of old age pensions in opposition to Thomas Lambert and Charles Wellman, Jr., of the Bruin team, tonight in Bovard auditorium. Dean Reid L. McClung will be chairman of the evening.
These debates, which were abandoned last year, have been resumed this year and S. C. leads with three decisions which Martyn Agens and James Kirkwood took in the meeting at Westwood last week. In order to win possession of the Westwood businessmen’s trophy for the coming year the Trojan speakers must receive the vote of one of the three judges. Otherwise a deciding contest may have to be held.
Clinton Jones, team manager at S. C. who has had charge of the arrangements for tonight announced yesterday that two of the judges will be Crawford F. Brubaker, debate coach at Pomona high school and junior college, and Mark F. Horton, former debate instructor at Lincoln high school, here, in the city. The third official had not been named at that time.
Both Bell and Patrick at their respective schools debated during junior college days and have participated for S. C. during the last two years. Both according to records have distinguished themselves by winning numerous contests and championships. New strategy, which they have not as yet divulged, will be used to build up a strong case for the pension plan. The plan, while very popular, does not lend itself easily to the building of the un-shakeable arguments which characterize the negative side.
Besides a large representation from the university several hundreds oi Townsend plan supporters are expected to be on hand tonight. Publicity has appeared in the paper, which the movement publishes and reports from Townsend clubs alii over this district show that great: interest has been aroused.
